Too bad the Wii version probably isn't gonna come out here. I don't understand why Namco wouldn't release all the Tales games that have been released on the DS so far in the US since Tales of Symphonia was the best selling Tales game. I remember Nintendo fans really liking that game and the others possibly could sell really good here compared to the PS2 games they keep bringing over that have a lot more competition.

I don't get these complaints. This isn't like with Vesperia where we only got the version with less content (whether that content was really all that important is another question...). We got the complete version of the game, so why do you want the incomplete version? Not to mention that I've heard the Wii version had some serious bugs and never ran that well.

Symphonia was the best-selling Tales game in the US for a lot of reasons, mainly the total lack of other RPGs for the system (during a time when JRPGs were still pretty popular) and the fact that they had friggin Nintendo helping out with the marketing. It's a bit silly to then conclude that Tales games would automatically sell better on Nintendo systems.

I completely agree with this. The charm of the Tales Of series is that is has no exclusive system. There has been one on every platform, giving EVERYONE a chance to play at least one. Personally, I'm hoping for more handheld Tales Of games to come out here. There are PLENTY in Japan. My Vita is just waiting for Innocence R or Hearts R. I'll be satisfied with either one. :)

I wish they would prioritize the major console released Tales games first before anything else....

In a perfect world (for Klyde)...

Ps1 Tales of Phantasia Localized on the PSNPs2 Tales of Destiny 2 Localized on the PSNPs2 Tales of Redbirth Localized on the PSNA Swift Release of Xilia this year followed by Xilia 2And finally, after that, I'd take some hearts... I'm least concerned with hearts because I don't really like handheld stuff...

NOTE: I don't honestly think anything I listed aside from Xilia is even a remote possibility... I just think it would be cool it it were :)

Innocence R wasn't good. From the looks of things Hearts R won't be that great either.

I'm not terribly concerned with just HOW good it is, I just want there to be a big enough demand for the series that it just releases the games as they come out in Japan. Plus, I know I'll enjoy it no matter what. I'm a sucker for those games. :)

If Innocence R was any indicator, releasing the "R" series may damage the brand name...

While I haven't played it so this is all second-hand, but I didn't think Innocence R was necessarily supposed to be bad so much as just bland and unremarkable. I wouldn't totally write off the "R" games yet, there's still a chance Hearts R will be better. Mind you, I'm certainly going to check reviews before getting it.
